We hope to get my old hacked + stolen account back one day. Attempts to retrieve it have been unsuccessful so far, despite the beyond obvious evidence it's mine. For now we will work from this account and build it up. We'd appreciate a retweet and follow. Thank you! @WAFB

Parents,
This moment is not easy for any of you if your child played their last game. But as a player, their world just possibly ended tonight. 94% of highschool athletes do not play any further than highschool. Tonight is an important moment, here are some things to do to help your child or a student you know get through this from a former players perspective.
#1 - PRAY with them with a thankful heart. Your kid may not want to be thankful right now, but it is important to still be thankful for this moment here and right now. No matter how hard this moment is, being thankful towards God for the moment is a great way to center yourself and focus on the main thing without diminished your child's experience of this moment.
#2 - Don't let your child blame themselves or anyone else for this moment or circumstance. Players will replay in their heads for years of something they could've done differently and maybe that would've changed an outcome. Continue to uplift them in those moments, but do not allow them to also turn blame to others as they need that same support from their parents and teammates.
#3 - Allow them to have their emotions. Don't say "don't cry, keep your head up". This is one of the most emotional things in a person's life up to this point. Allow the emotions to flow and be there as a supporting shoulder and arm.
Remember to show your athlete the same amount of love and adoration now in defeat as you have their whole career. Even if they don't seem to be responding how you would want through this, every little thing you do to help is a stepping stone for them to remember you were there for them in one of the toughest times in their life to now.
All time manhunt press conference question:
"Sir, was there any concern he would team up with another small man to step inside a trench coat Little Rascals style?"
@JFitzTV @KATCTV3 @pearse_m53 I’m proud to say I watched @pearse_m53 grow up on the football field always giving a 💯 percent and a class act off the field. What a great role model for younger players.
There's not many with better stuff than Parker Primeaux. A great talent and awesome person off the field. Well deserved, @parker_primeaux. https://t.co/fpZ2U4QIEr
